Valhalla

By: Robert J. Mrazek

Narrated by: Christopher Lane

In remote, icy Greenland, ex-Air Force General Steven Macaulay helps lead an expedition to recover a lost World War II plane. Encased in ice below is a find that will astonish the world - a perfectly-preserved Viking ship, buried for nearly a thousand years, along with the frozen corpses of nine crewmen.

Assembling the foremost Viking scholars, Macaulay tasks the gorgeous Lexy Vaughan to translate the ship’s markings - until her work is cut short when her colleagues are murdered. Stranded on a vast landscape of ice, wind and unbearable cold, Lexy and Macaulay are hunted by a secret cult that will go to the end of the earth to hatch an ancient plot of death and world domination.

A Suspenseful Thriller!

Would you consider the audio edition of Valhalla to be better than the print version?

Not my usual genre, I bought this book because it was Audible's “Daily Deal" and do not have the print version but I really enjoyed the audio version.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Valhalla?

This story was full of memorable moments, but one I know I will not forget is when the dog fought the wolves. I love dogs, so I won't be able to forget this scene.

What about Christopher Lane’s performance did you like?

Christopher did an awesome job at narrating. He gave the character's their own voice and accents. I will be on the lookout for other books narrated by him.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, this fast paced thriller drew me in and kept me engaged from the first chapter to the last. Once I started the story, I could not stop listening to it, and completed it over the weekend!

Any additional comments?

This was an intriguing, suspenseful thriller with a great plot, and characters.

Not impressed

I really wanted to like this. The idea behind the plot was very interesting, but not very well fleshed out. However, I can't leave a book unfinished, so there were many times I just ended up bored and tuning out.

Pretty good

Enjoyed the book, it had a good amount of intrigue, cover ups and action to keep you hooked.

Captivating!

Was hooked from the beginning. I would recommend this book to anyone! definitely will be on my re-read list. tyanks,

intriguing mystery

Enjoyed more than expected but ending was not climactic. Still I would recommend to all.

What fun!! Susie in NYC

Great book for a vacation. It has everything you could want in a thriller. Remember to have a lot of fun .

find something else

started out very promising..... then not so good..... and finished somewhere in between. i would not recommend.

Overall a decent tale with interesting characters

I like the narrator, he did an excellent job on the voices. The story was clear and clean with enough detail to make it realistic but not clutter it up.

Good ... wishing it would have been great

I had very high hopes ... but it didn't quite work out. It as an okay story with interesting twists. I had been hopeful for a little more Dan-Brown-Ization of Viking lore, but it didn't quite work out that way. Narration was great ... just a little disappointed that the promising premise didn't feel more satisfying.

a little abrupt

seems like it should have been longer, good story but character and plot development needed more
